The ironies a lullaby:

Once Ad-Man pen turned Hip-Hop Jazzmaster, Steven Stein - "Steinski" releases a smart, much anticipated retrospective. Any/all cred is well-deserved.

The rest is on the record. Somehow, I'm sure you'll thank me for my brevity.

Bottom line:
The Behance Network has the potential to serve as the most finely tuned collaboration of creative thought on Planet Earth.
What might Da Vinci have made of this?
How is this possible?
We're living in the future. That's how.

Behance Network provides a beautifully succinct, feature-rich environment for Artists, Designers, New Media Ninjas and other inspired types to showcase what they're made of. A stroll around a half-dozen portfolios at random, and you're awestruck at what's out there.
Perhaps more impressive, is the means by which connections are made, and the graceful way the network organically operates across the globe. It works, and well.
Behance is based in New York.

The argument about whether or not the tremendous challenges our planet faces - now and in future years - can be reversed by proactive human action falls short. We have enacted the planet’s decline, and together we can and must move to affect vital regeneration. Yet the heated debates over defining how and the means by which this action will take place wage on.

Amid the politics and global chatter that translate to more talk and less action, a few enlightened groups around the world are engaged in leading a straight-forward, inspired charge with impacting vision.
In the heart of the United States’ Pacific Northwest, a veritable hotbed of sustainable development and leader in the op-timization of natural resources, a movement is emerging that has the potential to rival anything else of the sort in the world with respect to its aggressive approach, and potential lasting impact for change.

Boone Speed is his real name. Whether the Portland, OR-based photographer's brand of photography is the result of natural-born talent or sheer determination, his aesthetic likely has something to do with his father, Grant Speed. Known for his sculptures depicting Western life, the senior Speed split his West Texas home at the tender age of 12 to ride bulls and earn a living as a cowhand. Boone is keeping the all-American myth going, albeit updated for a new generation.
